Hello All:

Anybody getting DX skip stations that come in and go in a matter of only
a few seconds. I have a 2 and a 4 element quad beam antenna up and
testing. I have this fast in and out skip stations on all of my antennas.

It may be that you are getting short propagation events from the
ionized tails of meteors reflecting distant signals .
There have been long-haul comm systems built to utilize this effect,
they sound for a path and send a data burst when there is an open
path.

Hello Phil:

No I don't think its meteors, but some kind of skip happening maybe the
attmosphere wants to work but for a short while. This happens a few
times an hour, then the skip stations come in solid for say 20 mins or so.

I believe I was using some sort of meteor a few years back, as I was
talking to guy about 150 miles away, the signal level came up then
quickly died, but we where able to exchange locations and call signs on
11 meters.
